History of Mammy Stereotype

Abstract

Despite the efforts the society makes to diminish exaggerated images, stereotypes often rule our everyday interactions. The less powerful groups of societies, based on class, race, gender, and sexuality, have been forced to cope with the history which has been written for them. One of the most commonly known stereotypes, still featured in contemporary advertisements and other media, is that of the black Mammy.
